Apart from the main BIOS file (''SCPH-XXXX.bin'' must be exactly 4Mb of size) your BIOS files collection may include ''rom1.bin'',''rom2.bin'',''erom.bin'' and ''SCPH-XXXXX.nvm'' files (note that ''XXXXX'' is the version of your BIOS, e.g. ''SCPH-34004.nvm'' and ''SCPH-34004.bin''). The last file contains some PS2 common and regional settings and it can also be created by the PCSX2 itself after you configure your BIOS while in emulation mode (set time zone, language, etc.) but it would still be fine to dump this file directly from your console.

{{tip|Interesting fact 2: Basically the first Japaneese PS2 had a single BIOS and the DVD player etc were installed on the memcard. The PS2's after that first model had the DVD Player software installed in a separate ROM (EROM) which is encrypted. The ROM1 is an additional part of the BIOS that contains some extra stuff like ID's for DVD Player version etc. ROM2 is the same really but I think only available in Chinese PS2's. '''auMatt'''.}}

The ROM1 is an additional part of the BIOS that contains excess info and items, such as IDs for the DVD Player version. ROM2 is quite similiar, but (potentially) exclusive to Chinese PS2s.
